Across the composite measures, your run sat broadly where the no-input alternative would have sat — neither retreat nor advance.
Wakefield's main parade looks recognisably like Wakefield's main parade. Some units have changed hands, others have not. Footfall steady. Real wages essentially level. The model finds no meaningful daylight between your run and the no-input alternative on the local economy.
The Health composite barely moved from the do-nothing trajectory. Outpatient corridors look much as they did. The elective backlog has neither shrunk nor swelled meaningfully. A non-event is itself an outcome — the NHS in 2036 is what it was, no better and no worse for the policy mix you chose.
Office floors and depot operations are doing the same job they were doing in 2026, with the same staffing pressures and the same long-run productivity story. The model finds no meaningful daylight between your run and the do-nothing alternative on the labour market.
The Housing composite tracked the do-nothing path within the model's noise floor. Some build-rate gains, offset by demographic and rate pressure. Rents broadly flat against the alternative. The market is what it was — out of reach for the same demographics, manageable for the same ones.

“It's mostly the same. The agency spend, the vacancy rate, the morning handover — recognisable from 2026. I'm still in the shared house in Headingley. The model doesn't think your decade was a wasted decade, but it doesn't think much changed either.”
David, 67
Retired civil engineer, Bristol
“The country is roughly where I expected it to be. The pension has held. The pothole on my road hasn't been filled. The hospital is still the hospital. I'm sceptical of decades that promise transformation; the model agrees this wasn't one of them.”
Joanna, 41
Secondary school teacher, Dundee
“The classroom is what it was. Same pressures, same kids, same household stress at the gate. The school's budget has held in nominal terms; the buying power has eroded as it always does. Not a decade of progress, not a decade of decline. A decade.”
Tom, 24
Recent graduate, Manchester
“Still at the coffee shop. Still in the shared house in Fallowfield. Still applying for things and not hearing back. The decade has gone the way the previous decade went for the people just ahead of me. Which is to say, not very far.”
The Daily Bulletin
Public satisfaction held. Inequality held. Social cohesion held. A holding pattern is itself a choice — the country bought ten years of stasis at the cost of ten years of progress.
The London Standard
The Economy composite has tracked the do-nothing path within the model's tolerance. A holding pattern in a decade where the country could not afford one.
The Westminster Mirror
The decade we were told would settle things has settled nothing. The model finds no daylight between this Britain and the one we'd have got from doing nothing at all.
Compete
There's no single high score. Your Britain gets plotted against everyone else's on the trade-offs that matter — and you find out whether it sits on the frontier.
